Cannabis Edibles in High Demand but Not Quite a Jackpot for Toronto Store Owners Facing Shortages

Cannabis customers are gobbling up the new edible products introduced this week in Ontario’s legal pot shops.

Stores are selling out of the pot-laced gummies, cookies and chocolates — as well as new vape and tea products — as soon as they hit the shelves, several proprietors say.

“They are going very, very quickly,” says Lana Paraskevopoulos, general manager of the Canvas Cannabis shop on Danforth Ave. “We can’t keep the edibles in stock.”

The same holds true across town, where the so-called cannabis 2.0 products — which will grow to include topical lotions and alcohol-replacement beverages — are flying off the shelves at the Hunny Pot Cannabis Co. on Queen St. W.
